Not sure about that but did you ever check out the old army look out on Goose Berry island?I'll hunt for pix in a min.
Hi Judy,
Looked the satellite view. Looks idyllic. Shows what look like roads. Can you drive to the southern point, or are those hike/bike trails?

There is a parking area and a short walk to where we photoed our pix.

Gooseberryneck Island- look out tower...WW2
Beautiful pic of you guys. There are a number of these towers along the coast. This looks similar to one on a hill just north of Logan Airport. Couldn't find a photo of it.
Best,

Thanks! I'll check it out this season.
In case you don't know this, last season Horseneck and several other area beaches were overrun with Portuguese man-o-wars, eliminating swimming entirely. At closed South Beach on the Vineyard, lifeguards were raking them out of the water by the hundreds. They've gone elsewhere this year, but just a few days ago the water at Horseneck was closed due to a shark sighting. What else can go wrong?
I have been sailing these waters for 30 years and have never seen or heard of a man-o-war or a shark off the south coast. (The east coast of the Cape is Disneyworld for sharks, due to the plentiful population of seals.)
